Aaron Rodgers’ potential landing spots as Jets prepare to move on

It was a short-lived dream for the New York Jets.

The arrival of four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers in April 2023 brought with it the hopes of not just breaking a historic playoff drought – but also the possibility of bringing home the Lombardi Trophy. 

But just two seasons later, the Jets are again on the hunt for a new quarterback.

Deshaun Watson’s time in Cleveland has likely come to an end after the embattled quarterback ruptured his Achilles tendon for the second time in three months and underwent another operation earlier this year. 

With the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, the Browns are likely to pursue Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders or Miami’s Cam Ward, but a veteran signal caller could serve an important role in allowing a young quarterback time to adjust. 

Rodgers already has experience fulfilling such a role, as he did with Jordan Love, who led the Packers to back-to-back playoff appearances in his first two seasons as a starter.
